Not to beat this to death but I still believe that if you really need to have everything unlocked just buy another controller there cheap...
I'm not saying I do need everything unlocked. I think they all should be unlocked because we were not warned they changed their settings and that is a very big deal. but I had a few specific settings that I wanted which was in a big part, why I bought the bike, to begin with. The bike itself had me very interested but then when I found out the options on it that I wanted, It sealed the deal. As I am sure it did for more than just a few. Then when I finally get it after almost 2 months waiting, to find out the options I wanted to set were essentially locked out now, It is NOT the same bike I ordered. Really, I don't see how that is so hard to comprehend.
Try to think of it this way, you research a new computer you want to buy. You find out this new computer comes with specific settings (say the cmos) that's going to make your ownership of that computer, more enjoyable. Maybe this particular cmos still supports old floppy drives and you got one you want to add to the system, but when you get it, the manufacturer of your new computer decided, you know what, I got some calls on this and I just don't want to deal with it anymore, so they disable that one function you really wanted. Just because the initial cost of the computer was good, doesn't mean that's the main reason you bought it. It literally is not the computer you ordered and was expecting. See the point here? I could have built the computer for probably the same amount of money and it would have had the features I wanted but then I would have to invest a lot of time putting it together and researching every single component. Oh look, all these reviews show, there is a computer right there that does everything I want, I will just buy it instead but then you get it, It's not the same computer because its functions have been altered.
As it is with this bike, I'm already going to have to open it up, pull the guts out and send it back to the manufacturer to get reprogrammed, which is exactly what I didn't want to have to do. If I knew all this, I could have just built a much better bike for near the same price. So yeah, THEY put me and others into a very bad position. Already got the bike out, box ripped up for recycling, then find out, It's not the bike I ordered so now, I am at a point, how do we resolve this? Do I buy a new box, pay to have it shipped back and get a refund? Will, they simply ship me an original controller and pad and say, our bad, here ya go, we should have made it clear we were changing the settings away from our first batch (This would have been the exact right thing to do). No, I got option three which is, Rip this stuff out of your bike, ship us these parts on your dime we will reprogram it for you and send it back. So now I am spending even more money albeit less than if I had to ship the entire bike back, all in order to get the bike I thought I was getting in the first place and even then I'm sure it won't be because they will probably leave the other stuff locked, regardless if I needed it or not. It took almost 2 months to ship, wonder how many weeks my dead bike will set in there till the reprogrammed controller comes back? 3-5 days to get to them, however long it takes them to reprogram and then probably that many days to get back if im lucky.
